Talking about a CPU like this to anyone three years ago and you would be called a madman.
But now it’s actually here. Kudos to AMD for proving how Intel has held back the industry for years and years.
Now though, what’s next? AMD has shocked (disrupted?) the CPU scene with a completely unthinkable increase in computing power at several affordable pricing levels. Everyone can upgrade their rigs to something immensely better, no matter the budget.
So where does AMD go from here?

- snvzz 7y agoCurrent cpu chiplets are internally split in two groups, each group has its own L3. We know that Zen3 does away with that split. That's potentially double the L3 for single cpu, which helps some loads. Additionally, better process might mean they can also make the L3 cache bigger. AMD hasn't talked much about Zen3 because it's a ways off (H2, potentially Q4), but from the information they've given out, we know that IPC increase is over 15%. This will widen the gap with Intel, and it's assumed that Intel's negligible advantage in some videogames, to do with memory access latency, will be gone by then.
